This quote isn't relevant, as far as I can tell.  First, it is Racket, which is
not-quite-Scheme.  For one thing, Kawa doesn't have as strict as phase separation
as Racket - or some other Schemes.  Furthermore, the example uses define-macro,
which is for legacy (non-hygienic) macros.  Finally, in your original question
the assigned variable is a macro parameter, which is very different from
being in the scope of the macro definition.
